I do not recall reading anything like atheism in any of the old stories from Sumer or Asyria.

Isn't Atheism a 20th century name for Naturalist/ Agnostic/ Nihilist/ ...[insert favourite nom de plume here]/ malcontent of prevailing belief systems??

*goes off to google Atheism*Thinking must be a greek word...

Sorry?? How can atheism be a re-hash of anything since you would have a better chance of herding cats than getting atheists to agree on anything other than the abscence of a deity/ supreme being/ santa claus for grown ups

Of course skepticism is new and never existed before the term atheism was coined children.

It's still hard to call atheism a rehashed concept when it's so simply defined

Just so everyone's on the same page about the term.

Quote:Rehashed:
To bring forth again in another form without significant alteration: rehashing old ideas.

Atheism always has been clearly defined. It is a simple concept of disbelief.
